To determine the concentration of trace metals in the tissues of whale from the coastal ocean of Korea, we measured the concentration of trace metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, As, Zn and Hg) in the organs (liver, intestine, muscle, epidermis and blubber) of minke whale entangled from the eastern coast of Korea in 2009. The highest and lowest concentrations of Cu, Cd, Zn, and Hg were found in the liver and blubber, respectively. In contrast, the highest and lowest concentration of As was found in the blubber and muscle, respectively. The accumulation trend of trace metals in the organs of minke whales was in the order Zn > Cu > As > Pb > Hg > Cd. The concentrations of Cu, As and Zn in liver and epidermic were higher in male than in female, whereas the concentrations of Cu and Pb in intestine and muscle were higher in female than in male. The mature individuals of minke whale were much higher Cd in liver, Cd and Hg in muscle, As and Hg in epidermic and blubber, Cd, As and Hg in intestine than immature individuals of minke whale.

Abalone culture is one of important coastal fisheries off Wando in the southeast coast of Korea. Since cage culture for abalones was popularized, Understanding of temperature variation, which is important to raise abalones and to prevent their mass mortalities, is necessary. We analyzed temperature data from 2005 to 2009 obtained at Sinji-do and Cheongsan-do off Wando. Sinji-do, which is relatively close to land, had yearly wide range of temperature and rate of temperature variation. It is likely to be caused by heating of solar radiation in summer and cooling in winter at the shallow area. Rate of temperature variation in autumn was higher than that in spring. In summer short term variation of temperature corresponding tidal period was distinguished clearly. Diurnal temperature range, abrupt temperature change, was larger open sea. Comparison between temperatures of two stations and favorable raising conditions of abalones showed that Cheongsan-do, located out to sea, appears to be more appropriate than Sinji-do.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene, are released into the aquatic environment and have been identified as endocrine effects on marine organisms. Naphthalene makes up the highest fraction of PAHs in oil and shows the strong toxicity to aquatic organisms. I analyzed 24h-median lethal concentration (24h-
) for juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus to study the acute toxicity of naphthalene. Bioconcentrations in the gill, liver, kidney and muscle of olive flounder were analyzed after to 6 naphthalene concentrations of 0, 1000, 1800, 3200, 5600 and 10000
. Olive flounder has 24h-
value of 2410.76
in Large group, and 2230.67
in Samll group. Naphthalene concentration was varied with tissues. The concentrations of naphthalene were much higher in liver and kidney than in gill and muscle.

It is necessary to study the material circulation of coastal ecosystem according to aquacultural activity in order to induce the sustainable production of aquaculture and the fishery environment for the useful use. Hence, it is essential to make an exact assessment for the sedimentation release flux at the sediment-water interface in the aquafarm. Sediment oxygen demand and dissolved inorganic nitrogen release fluxes were compared using in-situ and laboratory incubational examination. Sediment oxygen demands were 116, 34, and
(in-situ incubation), 52, 17, and
(Core incubation) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen release fluxes were 7.18, 7.98, and
(in-situ incubation), 3.33, 3.74, and
(Core incubation) at Tongyeong finfish, Yeosu finfish, and Wando abalone cage farms, respectively. Consequently, in-situ incubation results showed two times higher than laboratory examination. We compared the material flux at the sediment-water interface of each farm and the characteristics between two different kinds of material flux examination.

Wind resource assessment is necessary when designing wind farm. To get the assessment, we must use a long term(20 years) observed wind data but it is so hard. so that we usually measured more than a year on the planned site. From the wind data, we can calculate wind energy related with the wind farm site. However, it calculate wind energy to collect the long term data from Met-mast(Meteorology Mast) station on the site since the Met-mast is unstable from strong wind such as Typhoon or storm surge which is Non-periodic. To solve the lack of the long term data of the site, we usually derive new data from the long term observed data of AWS(Automatic Weather Station) around the wind farm area using mathematical interpolation method. The interpolation method is called MCP(Measure-Correlative-Predict). In this study, based on the MCP Regression Model proposed by us, we estimated the wind energy at Handong site using AEP(Annual Energy Production) from Gujwa AWS data in Jeju. The calculated wind energy at Handong was shown a good agreement between the predicted and the measured results based on the linear regression MCP. Short term AEP was about 7,475MW/year. Long term AEP was about 7,205MW/year. it showed an 3.6% of annual prediction different. It represents difference of 271MW in annual energy production. In comparison with 20years, it shows difference of 5,420MW, and this is about 9 months of energy production. From the results, we found that the proposed linear regression MCP method was very reasonable to estimate the wind resource of wind farm.

Fatigue is known to detrimentally affect a person`s performance. Also, fatigue may reduce effectiveness and efficiency of marine officers and crew members. The purpose of this research is to understand on the status of the marine officers` fatigue. In this study, we carried out the questionnaire survey which is related to the marine officers` fatigue factors such as work, sleep and rest hour or period, sleepiness, casual factor, fatigue symptom, etc. The questionnaire contained 25 questions and it was distributed among 1,033 marine officers(deck officers 607 and engineers 426). The results of this survey show that marine officers` fatigue is a casual factor in marine accidents such as collisions, groundings and there was a fatigue difference between deck officers and engineers.

In 2010 the Manila Amendments established the highest practicable standards for officers and engineers. This amendments includes knowledge, understanding, skills, and proficiency required for a deck officer in terms of the BRM (Bridge Resource Management) to reduce human errors, stated in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Cerification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). This paper proposes a proper direction to improve BRM education program in Korea. In relation to the BRM program, its contents and education method were analyzed through the satisfactions survey for cadets and the experienced officers. As a consequence, this research gives several suggestions to improve the current BRM course.

In general, aluminum alloys forms the passive film(
) in neutral solution. However, the passive film created on the surface will be destroyed by chloride ions contained in sea water so the corrosion will occur. In this study, in order to solve the problem of corrosion under a seawater environment, potentiostatic protection techniques were applied to Al-4.5%Mg-0.6%Mn aluminum alloy in seawater. At polarization experiments, active state were observed at anodic polarization and concentration polarization by reduction of dissolves oxygen and activation polarization were found at anodic polarization. As a results of potentiostatic experiment, calcareous deposit were created much more as applying time increase from the turning point of the concentration polarization and activation polarization and crevice corrosion was partially observed between calcareous deposit and surface of base metal. Overall potentiostatic anodic polarization experiment was difficult to apply potentiostatic corrosion protection technology by occurrence of active state, whereas potentiostatic cathodic polarization experiment examined optimum corrosion protection condition of -1.1 V~-0.75 V within the range of concentration polarization considered various applying time.

Structures floating in the ocean experience various kinds of external loads, among which wave load is considered as determining factor in structural design. Its relative size compared with wavelength may be used to classify whether the structure is relatively small or large. Traditionally, the small structures are assumed to have little diffraction and the wave loads on large structure are usually calculated by only considering inertia force according to diffraction. In this paper, rectangular floating structures usually used in the ocean, river, and lake are used to find the relationship between hydrodynamic forces and its structural response.

Han, Sang-Goo ; Choi, Jung-Sik ; Park, Ro-Seong ; Kim, Dae-Hun ; Ryu, Kyoung-Boo ; Chun, Kang-Woo ; Yoon, Seok-Hun ; Choi, Jae-Hyuk ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Marine Environment & Safety, volume 18, issue 6, 2012, Pages 584~590
DOI : 10.7837/kosomes.2012.18.6.584
In this study, we have conducted a work on homogenizer development which is operated by high shearing force generated by stator and rotor inside it. To investigate the performance for homogenization and atomization of homogenizer, Bunker-C (IFO 380 cSt) was used as a fuel for experiment. Pre-treatment of bunker-C was carried out with homogenizer developed in this study. Oil purifier was used to investigate effect of oil sludge reduction after pre-treatment. Experimental result showed that the amount of sludge of fuel oil after pre-treatment with homogenizer has decreased by 13 %. To confirm combustion efficiency, Bunker-C which have pre-treatment with homogenizer and purified after are burned in boiler system. The result showed that CO concentration in exhaust gas was decreased. These results mean that if the homogenizer which is developed in this study for marine fuel oil is applied on real vessels, oil costs and operating costs can be reduced.

Recently, a vessel`s maneuvering performance is considered to be an important subject to secure safety at short sea shipping. Especially the high turning performance, which is required to avoid the marine pollution by the ships that was grounded, becomes more severe. In this paper, we discuss the effect of increasing rudder force on turning performance of short sea shipping ship by free running test in towing tank. First of all, we make the 47K PC model ship and high-lift rudder using Coanda effect. And we make the free running test system for the turning test in towing tank. And also we perform the turing test of 47K PC model in several changes of Coanda jet momentum and evaluate the turing performance such as advance and tactical diameter. Finally, we confirm that the increasing of rudder force is very effective to improvement of turning performance of short sea shipping ship.

It is necessary to accurately evaluate the resistance performance and estimate the towing power of a tugboat for safety towing operation at actual seas. In this study, we have carried out the model tests firstly to investigate the resistance performance and flow characteristics around the tugboat in still water. The experiments are performed in infinite depth in circulation tank using 1/33.75 scaled model from 5kts to 10kts(designed speed 7kts) considering the effect of adverse and favorable current. Then the numerical calculations are executed to analyze the response amplitude operator and added resistance on tugboat due to the waves. The results obtained by the present computation are compared with the those acquired from the experiments in still water. As a result, it is noted that the added resistance become larger at head sea and higher speed conditions. We can also observe that the EHP increase 70 percent in comparison with those in still water.

Our country has experienced some difficulties with clean up operation of massive marine oil pollution due to the lack of oil spill response equipments. And there was the case that a fishing vessel performed clean up operation had not received any proper payments because of its inefficient oil spill response operation. Thus, it is important to develop an efficient oil recovery equipment for small vessel and adopt it as a part of oil pollution prevention policy. These efforts could prepare oil spill response equipment in advance and use a fishing vessel registered in the affected area by massive marine oil pollution. Therefore, this study examines and adopts a suitable subject vessels as a first step for developing oil recovery system fitting with small vessels for national use.
A Study on the Flow Characteristics around Tidal Current Turbine
Kim, Bu-Gi ; Yang, Chang-Jo ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Marine Environment & Safety, volume 18, issue 6, 2012, Pages 610~616
DOI : 10.7837/kosomes.2012.18.6.610
All the countries in the world is currently facing the full scale of energy-climate era currently, and making strong energy policy that will lead to green growth of the future energy resources by utilizing renewable energy as the basis of entering the advanced country becomes the goal of development that satisfies the demand for energy in 21st century. Recently, ocean energy attracted the attention along with the necessity of developing renewable energy. Ocean energy is the one of most prominent recyclable and clean resources that has not been developed yet. So, it is highly required to develop good tidal current energy conversion system in coastal area. The inflow angle that acts against tidal current turbine, seabed effect and the change of efficiency along the occurrence of cavitation were investigated through the wake flow characteristics in this study. Power coefficient degradation by seabed effect did not appear in the condition of this calculation. Efficiency degradation appeared from above
regarding inflow angle and power coefficient was calculated as lower by 7 % at
. Torque and power coefficient increased as inflow velocity rose, but power coefficient degradation appeared from above 3m/s when the cavitation happened. So, it was recognized that the larger inflow angle and occurrence of cavitation become the reason for power degradation through the flow characteristics.
A Study on Domestic Policy Framework for Application of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage(CCS)
Chae, Sun-Young ; Kwon, Suk-Jae ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Marine Environment & Safety, volume 18, issue 6, 2012, Pages 617~625
DOI : 10.7837/kosomes.2012.18.6.617
This study examines the current status and policy development of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage(CCS), which is a technology to mitigate climate change, in Korea and foreign countries. It also analyzes IEA CCS regulatory framework as a guideline and provides limitations and implications for marine geological storage in the Republic of Korea. Although CCS master plan is established at national level, related laws are not amended and detailed polices are not yet provided. Established `Intergovernmental CCS committee` lacks its cooperative mechanism and flexibility. Only limited and segmented economic analyses are performed and funding for large scale of CCS project is not secured. In addition, information sharing is limited and public awareness activities are insufficient. Therefore, this paper provides some policy suggestions on establishing a legal framework based on the `Marine Environmental Management Act`, strengthening the role of intergovernmental CCS committee, conducting CCS economic analysis based on various scenarios, providing economic incentives and public participation strategies, and establishing a specialized agency for information sharing.

Member Verna Roberts presented the West Baton Rouge Library with two new books, both written by Mary Elizabeth Sanders, a member of the chapter before her death. They were "A Soldier's Journey" and "Avoca Plantation Receipts."
Bonsai group hears leaf-pruning program
Jim Scarton, Louisiana Bonsai Society vice president, did a program on leaf pruning red maple bonsai and elm bonsai when the group met Sept. 20. He explained how the leaves are old enough that they begin to loose their chlorophyll and don't produce much food for the plants. Cutting or removing the leaves triggers budding new leaves which helps the bonsai to keep growing during our long growing season. If the bonsai is healthy, the new leaves will last long enough to change to fall colors when the weather turns cold, he said.
Lowell Tilley did a short program on preserving deadwood on bonsai. He explained how sometimes a bonsai has a problem and a branch or part of the trunk dies. After the problem has been corrected, the deadwood can be treated to prevent decay giving the bonsai character and making it look older, he told the group.
The next club meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Baton Rouge Garden Center, 7950 Independence Blvd. Tilley will do a lecture/demo showing how to plant a juniper on a rock. There will also be a discussion about doing bonsai landscapes using rocks and plants. Members will bring some of their bonsai to be discussed, and they will also talk about preparing for the Fall Bonsai Show to be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 5-6 at the Baton Rouge Garden Center. It is open to the public, and admission is free. There will be bonsai lecture/demo at 2 p.m. both days.
The Louisiana Bonsai Society is a not-for-profit organization open to all those interested in the hobby of bonsai. For more information, call Lowell Tilley, (225) 272-6744 or email email@example.com.
Tilley will teach three LSU Student Union Leisure Classes, "Bonsai Appreciation."

October 2008 Poll - Discussion
The Temperament Groups and Political Orientations
Temperament theory involves a perspective about how type preferences combine to produce psychological subtypes which seem quite relevant to politics. Indeed, Keirsey's work on presidential temperament made this connection some time ago.
Though the naming of the temperaments continues to evolve (and the theoretical frameworks differ somewhat between type theory and temperament theory), from an MBTI® perspective the temperament groupings include: SJ, SP, NT, and NF.
In general, the effect of the temperament types was significant for all of the political orientation measures. The primary differences for each dependent variable seem to be:
A general trend across the temperaments also may be of interest. In general, scores on the social self-perception and social attitudes measures were the most liberal; scores on the economic self-perception and economic attitude measures were more moderate. Scores on the Liberal-Conservative Self-Perception: General fall in the middle.
|Note: Higher scores indicate more Conservative responses. Scores above 5.0 indicate Conservative orientations and scores below 5.0 indicate Liberal orientations. Results for the analysis can be found here (ANOVA) and here (Kruskal_Wallis). (Note: Higher scores in the ANOVA printout indicate more Conservative responses, except for the Liberal-Conservative Attitudes-Economic where higher scores indicate more Liberal responses.)

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Nokia <NOKIA.HE> sees demand for the higher speed 4G network equipment to begin to recover this year, led by Japan, the company's chief executive Rajeev Suri said on Sunday, while announcing a series of contracts with telecom operators.
Speaking at a news conference ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Suri announced a string of 4G and early 5G deals in Britain and the United States, that promise to help its core network business return to sales growth in coming years, he said.
The Finnish company had reached a "landmark", 3-year deal with Telefonica to build higher speed 4.5G networks in London, Suri said, adding that it had displaced a rival network supplier there.
Nokia also announced that it was working with U.S. telecoms carrier Verizon and semiconductor giant Intel to supply equipment for pre-commmercial 5G services in U.S. markets, including Dallas.

Former Auburn assistant joins football staff at Georgia
ATHENS, Ga —
Scott Fountain is sticking around the SEC.
The former Auburn assistant, who coached tight ends and special teams, is joing Kirby Smart's staff at Georgia. Fountain's wife announced the move on Facebook. It's unclear what role he'll serve with the Bulldogs.
Auburn did not renew Fountain's contract after last season, following eight seasons with the football program. He was the Tigers player personnel director (2009-12) before earning an on-field role as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach (2013-16).
Auburn promoted Tim Horton, adding special teams coordinator to his role of running backs coach. Larry Porter was hired to be the new tight ends/H-backs coach and the Tigers recruiting coordinator.

Justin Bieber & Kendall Jenner Excitedly Reunite: Her Cute Pillow Fight With His Brother
Look away, Selena Gomez! Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner reunited on June 10, and he flaunted their time together in a Snapchat story. The model must be getting pretty close to the family, too, because she's totally bonding with Justin's adorable little brother in the video!
They're both busy traveling, but Justin Bieber, 21, and Kendall Jenner, 19, were both in Hong Kong for Calvin Klein on June 10! As documented on the Biebs' Snapchat, the pals seemed super excited to reunite in an intimate setting, where they were joined by another friend, as well as Justin's little brother, Jaxon. See the cute vids here!
Justin has been totally blowing up Snapchat lately, but while he's mostly been with his guy friends in the photos and videos, Kendall makes a refreshing appearance in one of his newest posts. While approaching a closed door of what seems to be his hotel room, the singer teases his followers by asking, "Hello? Who is it?" before opening the door.
Eventually, his mystery guest is revealed, as Kendall excitedly bursts through the door to give their mutual friend a giant hug, with a reaction that makes it seem she didn't know he was going to be there. In the background, Justin, who's filming the whole thing, laughs slyly, clearly proud that he pulled off the surprise!
In a second video, we get a better glimpse at this mystery man, but more importantly, get to see Kendall and Jaxon having the most adorable pillow fight EVER! The 19-year-old reality star totally takes it like a champion as Justin's little bro whacks her with a pillow — it's SO cute. Watch the videos below!
Kendall Jenner Thinks Selena Gomez Is 'Pathetic' For Justin Bieber Obsession
While we're totally loving this reunion, one person who may not be too happy about it is Selena Gomez, Justin's ex and Kendall's former friend. In fact, according to a new report from June 10, Selena is so upset about Kendall and Justin's close friendship that she's enlisting her pal Taylor Swift to help her keep the model out of their powerful clique!
If this is true, though, Kendall apparently isn't taking it too seriously…or she just doesn't care. "Kendall thinks Taylor is as fake as they come and that Selena is pathetic for still being hung up on Justin," Star Magazine reports. Sigh. Can't everyone just get along?!
HollywoodLifers, tell us: What do you think of Kendall and Justin's reunion? Would you want to see them together?

Brownie Pudding
I have been putting off trying this recipe. It didn't look great to me. I thought the texture would be too soft almost like a creme brulee. I was totally mistaken! I made this on Friday evening. Fridays are my long run days and I usually eat what I want afterwards. I halved this recipe since I didn't want 8 servings. I could not believe how delicious this was. I baked it in the water bath and let it cool to room temp. I sampled it a couple hours later. I could not stop eating it. I even ate a serving for breakfast the next day. It was that GOOD! I know that others enjoyed this amazing dessert too. It was crunchy on top and then soft and gooey inside. Tia of Southern, Eh? chose Brownie Pudding. You can find Ina's recipe here or in Barefoot Contessa's latest book, Back to Basics. Thanks Tia for the amazing recipe choice. This is one of my new favorites recipes. Next time I will make this for a dinner party so there won't be any leftovers.

One out of every 10 Americans suffers from chronic headaches, and they spend over half a billion dollars every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain.
They never imagine that their headaches may be caused by TMJ, and that their pain is the result of a bad bite.
A bad bite can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment. When this happens, TMJ symptoms occur. This cluster of TMJ symptoms can include: headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw clicking, even stiffness and pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and back. This cluster has puzzled doctors in the past. Now we can put a name to it: TMJ.
According to recent studies, more than 40 million Americans suffer from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) or MPD (Myofascial Pain Dysfunction). The good news is dentists are taking the lead in finding solutions.
If you, or someone you love, suffer from the symptoms of TMJ, set up an appointment with your dentist soon. You may find that TMJ is the missing piece in the puzzle -- and, that the treatment works!
There are a range of TMJ treatment available for people suffering from jaw pain caused by TMJ disorder. TMJ dentists recommend starting with the simplest treatment options first.
TMJ pain can often be relieved with some simple TMJ exercises to stretch and loosen the jaw muscles. Other things that can help include anti-inflammatory medicines (like Tylenol or Advil), moist heat packs, avoiding hard or chewy foods, or physical therapy.
Treatment for TMJ disorders may include a TMJ mouth guard (also known as a night guard or bite plate) or a TMJ splint. These dental appliances fit into your mouth like an orthodontic retainer or athletic mouth guard, and they hold your teeth apart while you sleep to relieve stress and tension.
A bad bite can cause TMJ pain. If you have crooked teeth, your dentist may recommend orthodontic braces to straighten your teeth and improve your bite. Worn-down teeth or dental work may require some reconstructive dentistry.
TMJ surgery is the jaw treatment of last resort. Your TMJ dentist or TMJ physician can refer you to a TMJ specialist, like an oral surgeon experienced in jaw surgery. There are different TMJ surgeries available; a TMJ surgeon can help you decide if one might be right for you. However, it's essential that you try less invasive, reversible treatments for TMJ first!

(NAPSI)-According to many experts, global warming is the greatest crisis that mankind has ever faced. And as the planet heads toward disaster, decisive action is needed.
Some of the world's finest brains have been drawing up plans-radical scientists with revolutionary ideas. Yet putting these ideas into action requires epic experiments on a massive scale, in search of a solution that could change the future of our world.
A new Discovery Channel series tracks the progress of these experiments, filtered through the perspective of experts in science, engineering and business. In each episode of "Discovery Project Earth," the three hosts-known as the Task Force-meet a visionary scientist and implement his or her idea, creating the project for the program. Once complete, it is their job to test and assess each geo-engineering project.
The show's scientists have already made enormous strides, creating the thinnest etched lens ever made to allow sunlight to be defracted away from the sun with the solar shields. This group was also the first to prove that microwaves could transmit energy through the entire length of the atmosphere, opening the way for harvesting solar power in space.
Among the experiments that will be demonstrated on "Discovery Project Earth" are:
• Air Scrubber-When something's dirty, you scrub it until it's clean. That's the logic behind the world's most advanced CO2 scrubber tower. Removing CO2 from the air is a big idea that could help reverse global warming.
• Reflective Clouds-Could we lower the Earth's temperature by making clouds brighter so they reflected more of the sun's heat back into space? Watch what happens as a cloud is created using 300 hygroscopic flares.
• Raining Trees-Something big could take root when 20,000 mangrove tree spores and cordgrass seedlings are dropped from a squad of helicopters over the eroding New Cut Dune in Louisiana.
• Floating Turbines-If we could harness the energy of high-altitude winds, we'd have a limitless supply of power anywhere on the planet. But how do you get a wind turbine thousands of feet off the ground? Easy. Attach it to a blimp and launch it over Mexico.
• Glacier Blankets-Wrapping glaciers with blankets to prevent them from melting? See what happens when a team of scientists flies to Greenland with 31 giant rolls of blankets to tuck in a disappearing mass of this critical ice.
"Discovery Project Earth" airs Fridays at 9 p.m. To learn more, visit http://www.discoverychannel.com/.
The Project Earth MARS Turbine is being tested in a wind tunnel for the Discovery Channel. This technology could create air "scrubbers" to reduce the amount of CO2 from the air, thus potentially reversing global warming.

The number of confirmed swine flu cases in Kentucky has reached 88 and the state probably will see more, health officials said Tuesday.
Scott County has confirmed 12 cases, second only to Jefferson County, which has 45.
Fayette County has recorded six confirmed cases.
The numbers can be somewhat confusing, because they represent total cases recorded since early last month. Many patients have recovered or are recovering, officials said, and symptoms generally have been mild.
"We are continuing to see cases. It has not leveled off yet, and we expect to see more cases," said Beth Fisher, a spokeswoman for the state Department for Public Health. "We're still advising people to take precautions and seek health care if they are sick."
Kentucky continues to fare better than some other states, such as Indiana, where 155 cases had been confirmed by Tuesday morning. Nearly two-thirds of Indiana's cases have occurred in people from ages 5 to 24.
Many of Kentucky's recent cases have been among school-age children, Fisher noted.
"Nationally, the median age is 17, so our cases seem to be on par with what's happening around the country," she said.
Fisher said it's unclear why Scott County has twice as many cases as Fayette, which has a larger population.
"It's probably too early to tell," she said. "We're still tracking cases. We don't know if there are factors that could cause a disproportionate amount of cases, or even if there is a disproportionate amount of cases. These are things we still want to learn."

Four collection centres OKd
15 June 2001
Four collection centres OKd
ONLY four collection centres were approved at the beginning of this week, while another 28 were still waiting for the green light from their local trading standards office.
All four are in Wales, with the latest being Carmarthen Market and Lampeter Market in Ceredigion. These follow earlier sites at St Asaph and Ruthin.
A collection centre held at Carmarthen last Thursday attracted 526 lambs and eight cattle. A Meat and Livestock Commission spokesman said it had expected a bias towards sheep in Wales.
Meanwhile difficulties tagging lambs at collection centres which have not come from their holding of birth have proved unfounded. *

Bhutan is regarded as the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon'. The Paro (2,280m/7,480ft) and Thimpu (2,320m/7,611ft) concentrated mystic tour is ideally good for short time holidays in Bhutan. This short tour gives a good impression of Bhutanese culture and traditions along with the great views of Himalayan Panorama.

The next day hike up to the dramatic Tiger's Nest (3,180m/10,433ft) at Taktsang Lhakang, major highlight of this trip. The weekend market in Thimpu is good for handicrafts. Buddhism is the main religion in Bhutan and every aspect of daily life is shaped by Buddhist beliefs and aspirations. Bhutan is one of the smallest countries in the world but has a great cultural diversity.
Season for Bhutan Travel:
The best times to visit Bhutan are during spring (March, April, May) and autumn (September, October, November). The major religious festivals in Bhutan are held during these months and the weather in spring and autumn makes an ideal season for trekking and touring throughout the country enjoying the spectacular views of Himalayan mountains peaks and experiencing the cultural delights. However, travelling in Bhutan is possible throughout the year.
Group size:
A minimum of TWO persons is required to obtain a trekking permit in Bhutan. Tours can be organized for 1-3 persons and are considered FITs and a special discount is available if you are travelling in a group of 4 or above.

Don't Try This at Home
Edited by Kimberly Witherspoon and Andrew FriedmanBloomsbury, 308 pages, $24.95
A "slaughterhouse." A case of "dementia." "Vicious and soul-crushing." These are among the words used to describe rough days in the kitchen by the 40-odd world-class restaurant-chefs whose essays appear in "Don't Try This at Home," an anthology of culinary catastrophes. Naturally, the chefs remember food errors -- a wedding cake fed to dobermans, a paté accidentally submerged in chocolate sauce. But they note as well other unsavory aspects of the elite-restaurant milieu: ungodly hours, humiliation, substance abuse and filthy language in the kitchen (if not filth itself)....

Just a whole lot of pent up negative energy scribbled down. I was in a bit of a slump, and was, in some way, seeing the truth (if you must) in everything around me. Glad it made you think, though. In a good way, I hope?

The Run4Kids Ultramarathon and Relay is open to extremely fit and/or extremely crazy individuals as well as teams, who must complete 100 miles in 24 hours or less (there is a 4-hour extension for any individual runner who has reached 80 miles by the 24-hour mark). Our team consisted of twelve runners -- a combination of our school's staff and family members. We set up "base camp" at about 7AM, preparing for the 8:00 start. My brother Bobby took the first shift, covering twelve laps around the half-mile track. We rotated throughout the morning, some of us running three miles, others going a bit longer. By the early afternoon, we'd run about thirty miles -- well ahead of the pace needed to reach the century mark.
|Theresa cruising along.
The afternoon shifts were a bit of a grind due to the midday heat, especially on the back stretch of the track. We took shorter turns, about two miles or so each, and made sure to keep hydrated. It helped that three of our teammates arrived at two o'clock, relieving others who had signed on for the morning shift only. The "fresher" runners definitely were a factor in extending our lead, which ended up being critical down the road.
|Taking my turn on the night shift.
As a side note, during the mid-afternoon I was preparing to take my turn so I shed my sweatpants. Naturally, I had my running shorts on under them, but this didn't stop one of our hilarious teachers from making the comment, "Wow. I bet there aren't too many principals who have taken their pants off in front of four teachers."
Yeah, they're a riot.
|Me and Bobby taking a break.
Our primary goal accomplished, it was now time to focus on the Golden Shoe. With a lead of about eleven miles, it seemed like all we'd have to do was keep a runner on the track and we'd pretty much walk to victory.
And that's when Thomas the Marathon Machine showed up.
I was on the track, cruising along at a comfortable pace, enjoying the soothing sounds of Jack Johnson playing on my iPod when out of nowhere this slim-but-incredibly-fit guy in a red shirt went flying past me like a Serengeti lion in pursuit of a barbecue sauce-slathered gazelle. When I finished my shift, I asked my wife Theresa, "Who the hell is that guy?"
"Yeah, he's a ringer another team brought in. We just found out. He runs ultra-marathons all the time."
|Thomas, closing in on us little by little, smiling the whole way.
Keeping a close eye on the live results tracking, we saw that Thomas was closing in by about one mile every hour. We figured that he had to pass us about twenty times in order to catch up. From two o'clock to about four, our lead had been cut to eight miles. But our team fought through the pain, the fatigue, the sleepiness, and kept on giving our all. It was an impressive display of heart and determination, to say the least. The focus remained on only one thing . . . "Don't Let Thomas Pass!"
It got to be pretty funny after a while. To save our energy, we eventually adopted a "one mile per shift" strategy. One teammate would go as hard as he or she could for two laps, and then the next runner up would take over. There were only about six of us left at this point, as several members of the early crew had called it a day, including Bobby who departed at about 2:30 in the morning. I was on the track, going as hard as I could, when Thomas cruised up alongside me.
"This kind of makes it fun, doesn't it?" he asked.
"Easy for you to say," I wheezed back.
"Well, I was hoping I'd be able to make up a few more miles before you guys realized what was going on."
"Oh no, we caught on to it right away. Hey, since we're just chatting here, how about you let me pass you one time, just so I can say I did?"
"Sure." He sped up a bit to get about ten yards in front of me, then he backed off. And I passed him.
"Thanks," I said as I jogged by.
"No problem, talk to you later," said Thomas as he re-passed me and sped off into the night.
|Getting our medals at the 100-mile mark. It was 2:00 in the morning.
I was up next so I figured I wouldn't even make it to the first turn before Speedy McSpeedster overtook me again, but when I got there, I heard no one coming up on me. Turn two . . . nothing. Surely he'd catch me on the back stretch. But no, I made it through my two laps with no sign of him.
"Where'd he go?" I asked when I got back to our base camp.
"Right after he crossed the line behind Theresa, he started walking."
"Seriously? We're wearing him down! He's human!" It reminded me of that scene in Rocky IV where Rocky lands a punch to the Russian's head, opening a cut. "HE'S BLEEDING! HE'S CUT! HE'S NOT A MACHINE! HE'S JUST A MAN!"
The next time around, Thomas walked off the track to get a drink and take a break. We added two miles back onto our lead during this time. When he walked by me going back to the track, he fist-bumped me and said, "You guys are wearing me out. Keep it up!"
He's way nicer than Ivan Drago.
Still not feeling completely safe with our lead (Thomas regained his energy and increased his pace to his Usain Boltish levels in no time), I texted my brother Bobby at about 5:00:
|Tired, but victorious, we proudly accept the Golden Shoe.
And sure enough, at 6:30, with an hour an a half left to hold the lead, we saw Bobby walking across the parking lot. A loud cheer went up from the rest of our team.
Okay, a medium cheer. We were tired.
Bobby took over from there, and ran six miles in the next hour or so. More than good enough to seal the victory. At the final gun, our team had covered 131 miles in 24 hours. Thomas's team (and to be honest, Thomas was the only member we saw after midnight) finished about ten miles behind.
As tired as we all were, I think our whole team appreciated the dedication and effort we put forth as a team. Some of us logged a lot of miles, others were fresher during important stretches, and others still gave it their all early in the day when we were able to build a lead. Every single teammate was a key piece in the overall performance. That's what teamwork is all about.
I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the great work done by Kara and the rest of the 100-Mile Club crew in putting together an incredible event. The facilities were outstanding, the food was great, even the t-shirts were top quality (and really cool!). And of course, the medals and trophy were awesome!
We can't wait till next year . . . and of course, we WILL be implementing the 100-Mile Club at our school in the very near future!
